Rahul Vaidya Kisses Anushka Sharma & Sings For Her On Stage - Old Video Of Singer Goes Viral Amid Virat Kohli Controversy

Playback singer and reality TV star Rahul Vaidya has landed in hot water after calling Indian cricketer Virat Kohli’s fans 'jokers' in response to online abuse, triggering a storm of criticism on social media. The controversy began when Rahul revealed that Virat had blocked him on Instagram, and he sarcastically attributed it to an "algorithm glitch", a direct jibe at the cricketer's recent explanation for liking actress Avneet Kaur’s bold pictures online.

This remark by Rahul didn’t sit well with Virat's massive fan base, who began trolling not just the singer, but also dragged his wife and sister into the controversy. In the aftermath, cricketers Yuzvendra Chahal and Krunal Pandya reportedly unfollowed Rahul on social media, adding fuel to the fire.

Amid the escalating drama, an old video of Rahul with Virat's actress-wife Anushka Sharma has gone viral. The throwback clip shows Rahul on stage, serenading Anushka by singing the romantic classic Aapki Aankhon Mein Kuch while going down on one knee. He even kissed Anushka on her hand.

The sweet gesture made Anushka blush, and the singer was later seen complimenting her on her talent.

While the resurfaced video was once seen as a charming interaction, it has now gained attention in the wake of Rahul's comments and the backlash.

Virat recently faced his own social media controversy over liking a picture of Avneet Kaur from her fan page account, which he dismissed as an unintentional act caused by Instagram’s algorithm.

Rahul has since stood by his remarks, claiming the insults from the cricketer's fans were unwarranted, which led him to label them as 'jokers.'
